This winter, we're offering a number of off-piste exploration outings across different regions of Quebec. Here's a quick roundup of what's coming up! 

OFF-PISTE EXPLORATION

We're here to explore! The idea behind these days is to help you discover new mountains, explore new places and feel confident about going back! Not sure which way to go? Not ready to venture out on your own? Want to get out of your off-piste comfort zone? These days are the perfect opportunity to get started, in a safe and supervised environment! 

We spend the whole day outdoors and our framers are on hand to share their best tips: 

  • Planning the day and the itinerary
  • Gear up for a full day in the mountains
  • Managing humidity

Do I need to be a PRO?

But these days are not introductions to off-piste terrain. You must therefore have a certain level of downhill ability. In concrete terms, this means being able to ski down black runs in the resort, and being able to ski downhill in undergrowth/uneven terrain. 

Based on our skill level scale, this represents a Rockstar, Guru or Virtuoso level.

In terms of fitness, you don't need to be a great athlete, but you do need to consider that we'll be doing at least two climbs and will be on the terrain all day. 

And the equipment?

You need to know your equipment and be able to manage it. Of course, our instructors can give you a refresher course if you need it, but this is not an introduction to mountaineering equipment. 

If you don't have touring equipment, we have some available to rent for certain days. Just send us an e-mail and we'll check what's possible!
